Playing as Draven
Tips to maximize your impact
- Catch every axe
Catch every Spinning Axe (Q): you ready another one immediately, and you can hold two at once.
- Recast W on each axe
Recast Blood Rush (W) with each axe you catch: each catch resets its cooldown, and the spell gives you move speed and attack speed.
- Cash in your Adoration
Go for the kill when your League of Draven (passive) stacks are high: killing a champion gives you bonus gold based on your Adoration.
- Knock back whoever engages you
Save Stand Aside (E) to push back whoever engages you: the axes knock them aside and slow them.
Playing against Twitch
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Get out of his cloud fast
Get out of the Venom Cask (W) cloud fast: it slows you and adds a Deadly Venom stack every second, which powers up his Contaminate (E).
- Ward against his ambush
Ward your brushes and place a Control Ward on his paths: it reveals camouflaged enemies, and Ambush (Q) lets him reach you unseen.
- Focus him as soon as he appears
As soon as he comes out of the Ambush (Q) camouflage, focus him with your allies: he's fragile and has no dash to escape.
- Leave his range during his ult
During Spray and Pray (R), get out of his extended range until the effect ends: his bolts pierce every enemy, so hiding behind an ally won't protect you.
